Other popular dates at Miller Park include Boy Scout Night (August 3 vs. San Diego), Girl Scout Night (July 31 vs. Chicago-NL) and American Legion Day (August 9 vs. St. Louis).

Brewers On Deck is just days away and Spring Training is right around the corner, so to help get fans in the mood for the upcoming baseball season, the Brewers today announced that Spring Madness (414) will return after a popular 2014 debut.

The celebration of the coming of spring will arrive at Miller Park on Friday, April 10 through Sunday, April 12, when the team takes on the division rival Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game series. For this one special weekend, fans can not only save 50% on designated tickets, the team will also honor Milwaukee’s area code with some of the most popular concession items priced at $1 and $4 for the second consecutive year.

Beginning at noon Friday, January 23 and continuing through Sunday, January 25 at 11:59 p.m., Brewers fans will have a unique opportunity to purchase a limited quantity of select tickets discounted at a 50% savings. The offer is available by visiting brewers.com/springmadness. Fans in attendance of Brewers On Deck will also have access to purchase select locations for the Spring Madness games by visiting any of the Ticket Sales Booths within the exhibition halls. All sales will be cash only at the event.

As an added bonus, the Brewers will celebrate the return of spring to the 414 area code with special deals on select concession items during all three Spring Madness games. All domestic draft, 16-ounce beers will be $4, small Pepsi products and hot dogs will be $1, and nachos will be $4.

“Spring Madness (414) was one of our most popular promotions when it debuted last year, and we’re giving fans the chance to get a jump on purchasing individual tickets to ensure their place at Miller Park for this special weekend,” said Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick Schlesinger. “For anyone who is looking to knock the chill off the winter months, there’s no better way to ‘think spring’ than with this special offer.”

$4 beer and nachos, $1 hot dogs and sodas, half-price tickets in many areas…and now, an appearance by Hank, the Ballpark Pup, combine for one of the top values of the year at Miller Park as the Brewers face the Pirates tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday at Miller Park.

Hank has quietly appeared at several games this year, but his availability to fans at Miller Park was limited to a single event at The Team Store by Majestic in late March.

Hank’s return to the spotlight is scheduled for this Wednesday during the 5th inning of the Brewers vs. Pirates game. For one inning, he will appear on the Field Level Concourse in the right-field corner. Fans are welcome to visit and take photos of Milwaukee’s famous four-legger as he lounges with the recently-debuted “Hank House.”

Fans will have an opportunity to make a voluntary donation to the Wisconsin Humane Society during Hank’s appearance.

We’re welcoming “Spring Madness” back to Milwaukee during the team’s current nine-game, 11-day homestand with a new twist this year. And early risers this morning have a chance to be the first to get in on the fun.

Early this morning over 500 balloons are being placed around the city of Milwaukee in a variety of locations and landmarks, including Miller Park.

Update: As of approximately 5:30am this morning, all of the balloons at Miller Park have been claimed, but there are still many hidden around the city!

Each balloon includes a voucher for a pair of tickets to a “Spring Madness (414)” game at Miller Park, which will take place from May 13 – 15 when the Brewers host the Pittsburgh Pirates. In addition, some of the balloons will also include vouchers for other prizes such as autographed baseballs, a game-used jersey and a night in a suite.

Beginning at 5 a.m. this morning, fans may come to Miller Park to pick up a “Spring Madness (414)” balloon. Additional balloons will be scattered throughout the city. Upon locating a balloon, fans will want to pop it to have their prize revealed. There is a STRICT LIMIT of one balloon per person and the allotment of balloons is expected to be claimed quickly.

Ok, let’s be honest Milwaukee, it hasn’t been the best Spring around here. It has been slow to warm up and we haven’t seen the sun very much, but before you know it, the roof will be open every game at Miller Park and summer will be in full swing. To get people ready for spring and summer, the Brewers are bringing back the ever-popular “Spring Madness” promotion beginning Monday at Miller Park and continuing through the three-game series with the Dodgers.

Fans can save 50% on all tickets $34 and less, plus small Pepsi products and Klement’s hot dogs are just $1 each. These seats include: Loge Outfield, Terrace Box, Terrace Reserved, Loge Bleachers, Field Bleachers and Bernie’s Terrace. The promotion excludes the Miller Lite Beerpen, All-Inclusive Areas and the $1 Uecker Seats. This is a fantastic deal to see the Brewers play the Dodgers, which will include a start from former Brewers pitcher Zack Greinke on Tuesday at Miller Park.

Those who were out early at Miller Park on Monday to get their Polish Racing Sausage lawn gnomes will enjoy two free tickets to one of the games as an early kick off to Spring Madness.

Last year we captured some Brewers fans who had their $1 hot dog tally in the 40s. Sure they were groups of five, but that still averages out to eight hot dogs per person. Not bad. While Cait and I are concerned about the health of our readers next week, we would welcome any photo submissions from people who are able to beat that eight per person average.

Spring Madness is a great way to kick off an eight-game homestand at Miller Park. After the Dodgers series, the Brewers will welcome the Pirates to Miller Park for a weekend series, May 24 – 26 and then their old American League Central rival, the Minnesota Twins for a two-game set, May 27 – 28. For tickets, call (414) 902-4000, visit Brewers.com/madness or stop by the Miller Park Box Office.

If you haven’t heard by now, the second Klement’s Famous Racing Sausage, Polish, went missing last Wednesday andthis morning, we finally found out what he was up to! In preparation for Spring Madness, Polish had been hard at work. Not only had he gone missing from Miller Park, but, similar to Bernie’s effort in 2011, and Chorizo’s last year, Polish spent the hours mapping and planting over 2,000 Polish lawn ornaments in the grass areas surrounding Miller Park and its parking lots.

Each lawn ornament was affixed with a pouch that included game tickets for a Spring Madness game, set for May 20 through May 22 at Miller Park. The Brewers will host the Los Angeles Dodgers during Spring Madness, and fans can save 50% on most tickets $34 or less. In addition, Klement’s hot dogs and small Pepsi products are just $1 each for all three games.

Brewers fans reacted quickly to the news, which broke at 5am, and descended upon Miller Park. In just under 90 minutes, all of the lawn ornaments were spoken for. What a fun morning!

[Note: If you aren’t able to make it down to Miller Park this morning, or if you missed out on the lawn ornaments, don’t fret! We are told the Brewers Team Store by Majestic will have a limited quantity in stock. We suggest you call the store at (414) 902-4750 to check availability first.]

Well, this morning, we finally found out what he was up to! In preparation for Spring Madness, Polish had been hard at work. Not only had he gone missing from Miller Park, but, similar to Bernie’s effort in 2011, and Chorizo’s last year, Polish spent the hours mapping and planting over 2,000 Polish lawn ornaments in the grass areas surrounding Miller Park and its parking lots.

Beginning NOW (5 a.m. on Monday, May 13), fans may come to Miller Park to pick up their very own Polish Racing Sausage lawn ornament. If you find one, it’s yours to keep, but there is a limit of just one ornament per person.

Each lawn ornament is affixed with a pouch that includes game tickets for a Spring Madness game, set for May 20 through May 22 at Miller Park. The Brewers will host the Los Angeles Dodgers during Spring Madness, and fans can save 50% on most tickets $34 or less. In addition, Klement’s hot dogs and small Pepsi products are just $1 each for all three games.

This scavenger hunt will continue until all ornaments have been claimed; the allotment is expected to be claimed quickly, so what are you waiting for? Come and try to get yours! [Please note: Parking is only available in the Molitor Lot, which is directly north of I-94. Fans should enter the Molitor Lot from Blue Mound Road and walk down Yount Drive to participate in the hunt. For official rules, click here.]

Did you find Polish? Upload a photo to Twitter and/or Instagram using the hashtag #WHERESPOLISH and we might include yours in a recap gallery later today!

This fan was here bright and early to help find Polish!

6:30am Update:All of the Polish ornaments are gone at Miller Park. Thanks to everyone who came out! We hope you had fun out there… And of course, we hope to see you back out at Miller Park for Spring Madness, May 20-22!

[Note: If you aren’t able to make it down to Miller Park this morning, or if you missed out on the lawn ornaments, don’t fret! We are told the Brewers Team Store by Majestic will have a limited quantity in stock. We suggest you call the store at (414) 902-4750 to check availability first.]
